Not a bad book, but I just found it painfully slow. Wasn't really sure what the point of the story was, and it took a long time to gather steam and even then became only remotely interesting. I tried to read it several times and finally…

I love this tetralogy! I fell in love with these characters after the first reading and have read it many times over. The characters are zany and wholesome; it most definitely is a feel good book! All of them are great, easy reads that…

A great novel for women (and for men willing to try a little harder to understand women). First of a popular series. There is a lot of comedy and romance and deep emotion, combined with true insight on what makes a family fit together. …

Well done. There is a certain mysticism relating to Appalachia. I guess I am subject to this romanticized folklore. Enjoyable -

Big Stone Gap is one of those novels that makes you feel like you actually live in the blue mountains of Virginia and all of the residents are your friends and family. Humor, romance, family secrets and even a visit from Elizabeth Taylor…

This is such a sweet enjoyable read, chalk full of great humour and wonderfully eccentric characters. The main one, Ave Maria Mulligan is okay but I prefer the supporting cast. Her best friend Iva Lou, a bookmobile driver & God's gift to…

Quite lively, but predictable plot. Why is it listed as "teen" category book. Ms. Trigiani is wearing entirely too much lipstick in her author photo.

This is a really good series of books - they deal with life and love - and are just a good cozy read.
